This second break of N avratilova's serve, which is the best by far in women's tennis, put Graf in front, 6-5. What a thrilling match this had turned out to be! In the next game, N avratilova, after losing the first point on Graf's serve, won the next four points to break Graf right back. This made it 6-6 in games, and called for a tiebreaker. In a twelve- point tiebreaker, if a player wins seven points before her opponent wins six she wins the tiebreaker and, with it, the set. Otherwise, the tiebreaker con- tinues until one of the play- ers gains a margin of two points over the other. Graf, instead of being ner- vous, as one might have ex- pected, won the first four points-the first when Navratilova was wide with her volley off a fore- hand drive, the second on a crosscourt backhand placement, the third on an orthodox forehand drive, and the fourth on an inside-out forehand drive, one of her favorite shots. N a- vratilova won the next pOInt on an error by Graf, but there was no stop- ping Graf. She nt to 5-1 on an ace and, after they had changed courts, to 6-1 on an error by N avratilova. The next two points went to Navratilova- the first when Graf was long with a return of service, the second when a forehand by Graf caught the top of the net and carried out. Graf then served a bullet into the far corner of the service box to take the tiebreaker, seven points to three, and the set, 7-6. In the third and deciding set, Navratilova broke Graf's serve in the opening game at deuce, when Graf netted backhand shots on consecutive points. N avratilova won her first three service games at thirty, at love, and at fifteen, respectively, and she looked so totally in command that the prospect definitely loomed that she might hold her next three serves, run out the set, 6-4, and take the match. However, in the eighth game, when Navratilova served for the fourth time in the set, Graf broke her at love. She won the first two points on errors and the last two on flashing forehand placements. This made it 4-4 in games, and the gallery of over twenty thousand people was on its feet, yelling and applauding for both players after every winning shot or protracted rally. In the tenth game, Graf, reading N avratilova's service well, fought her way to deuce and twice held match point, but she failed to cash in on these opportunities. OCTOBER 13,1986 On the first occasion, she was long with a forehand drive, and on the second her return of service carried over the baseline. Navratilova then played herself out of this jam. She moved to ad on a crosscourt backhand volley-she was coming to net on nearly every point-and won the game when a backhand drive by Graf sailed wide. This made it 5-5. Both players then held serve at thirty, and at 6-6 another tiebreaker was at hand There was no diminution at any stage of the tiebreaker in the excel- lence of the tennis or the ardor of the players. At 6-5 in points, N avratilova held match point, with Graf serving. Graf erased it with a back- hand drive that caught the baseline. At 8-7, Graf held her third match point of the afternoon. She served this point but threw away her chance when she netted a back- hand. Navratilova held her second match point at 9-8. Serving into the ad court, she swung one of her fast slice serves wide to Graf's backhand, and Graf couldn't handle it. Tie- breaker to N avratilova, ten points to eight. Match to N avratilova, 6-1, 6-7, 7-6. The N avratilova-Graf semifinal will take its place among the great women's matches of the nineteen-sev- enties and eighties: the Mandlikova- N avratilova final in the 1985 U.S. Open (Mandlikova, 7-6, 1-6, 7-6); the Evert Lloyd-Navratilova final in the 1985 French Open (Evert Lloyd, 6-3, 6-7, 7-5); the Evert Lloyd- N avratilova finals at Eastbourne, on the English Channel, in 1979 (Evert Lloyd, 7-5, 5-7, 13-11) and in 1978 (Navratilova, 6-4, 4-6, 9-7); the King-Goolagong final in the 1974 u.S. Open (King, 3-6,6-3, 7-5); and the Court-Evert final in the 1973 French Open (Court, 6-7,7-6, 6-4 ). The final the next day between N avratilova and Sukova, was doomed to be an anticlimax. It had a brief span of suspense when Sukova led the first set 3-1, but after N avratilova won the next two games, Sukova's thin veil of confidence vanished. N avratilova went on to take the next three games and win the first set, 6-3. In the second set, N avratilova broke Sukova's serve in the first game and faced little oppo- sition on her way to winning the set, 6-2, and wrapping up the match. Navratilova has now won the U.S. Open three times, Wimbledon seven times, the French Open twice, and the
